Are you willing to quit games that will be Windows 11 exclusive? Are you willing to pay nearly double for Mac? Are you willing to run woke-first competency-last open source software that puts your machine at security risk?
Eventually new hardware will no longer support whatever version of Windows you're using. Are you not going to upgrade your computer in forever, or will your components not expire?
I have a decently sized backlog of old games to play. I abhor keyboard+mouse as a method of input for gaming as well. Homebrew emulation on 3ds and psp is going a long way for me.
New stuff isn't all that good. I'm not hip enough with the trends. I like to strip java off sites I visit and manually clean up some bad site design choices with ublock. I like plain text; give me irc over discord any day.

This is the thing that worries me. Eventually my hardware will die. I'm hoping I can find some replacement hardware at a thrift store. I've gotten so accustomed to laptop typing that I'd really like to build my own laptop, but it seems to not really be a thing. I can barely understand desktop building anyway.
I'm pretty much prepared to just stop, though. There's plenty of books to read. I can get a mechanical typewriter for my filing.
You will, the person reading this.

Life is terrible.
